I wrote about the way our family honors Memorial Day over at the GenealogyBank blog. You can read Remembering Our American Veterans on Memorial Day 2013 here.

In 2011 in  a blog posting for Memorial Day, I provided a short history of the holiday and the poem In Flanders Fields. You can read that post here.

Have a safe and meaningful Memorial Day.
